MercyOnce people got closer to the colorful display it was a lot easier to see what was going on, there was a volleyball court laid out on the sand a large white net with orange trims and poles had been erected and the court itself had even been marked out with
blue dunlop marker cones. Just along from that was a large space of open beach with a big box full of colorful sand box toys, shovels, buckets etc. A small ball of cream fur fluttered over to another section of the beach ripe with items, this section had 3 large light blue
trugs spread out on a single red line that stretched about 8 meters across the beach, on closer inspection the trugs were in fact full of water bombs. The little cream creature turned as Mercy approached the site, it’s little red bopper wobbled frantically atop its head as it flapped its tiny purple wings propelling itself towards her at speed.
“Wow Koop, this looks amazing!” Mercy grinned at the little creature, who clasped his small paws together and swayed his shoulders, little red circles appearing on his cheeks. “Thank y-upo-po!” He thanked her in a sweet tone; the corners of his mouth turning up into a smile. Mercy reached up and scratched him behind one of his ears smiling at him. “I think most of them are coming over here, would you mind making sure they come to the right place? I’m not sure I was quite as clear as I could have been” Mercy pulled a slight face, she had allowed herself to get a bit too excited back there which was most unlike her, yet again since...she hadn’t quite been herself anyway. “Hmm, maybe a change is for the better right?” she grinned at the moogle hovering in front. “Roger that! Kupo-po!” Came Koop’s joyous response before he left her to scramble up a nearby lifeguard tower megaphone still in hand. “Everyone gather round! I’ll announce the first event shortly” Mercy announced as a few students begun to show up.
Koop took off down the beach hovering by the path up towards the resort he pulled his bag round to his side poking his tongue out of the corner of his mouth he reached into the bag rummaging around until the bopper on his head sprung up straight like an upside down exclamation mark. He retracted his hand, pulling out what seemed like a long pole that quickly expanded into a neon sign about three times the size of him it had the words. ‘Beach Olympics this way ->’ light up on the front of it as well as a huge red flashing arrow on it. Holding the sign above his head Koop flew up towards the resort positioning the sign so it was pointing the way Mercy had bounced off in. The little moogle looked quite pleased with himself as he hovered just next to the pool brandishing his sign post with a proud puffed out chest.
Little Feather & LionLion offered Dani a toothy grin as he mentioned being up to talking with him.
I’m quite the popular one aren’t I? He grumbled at Little Feather who rolled her eyes at him. Lion turned to listen to Seven his ears slowly lowering at the sinister tone that went along with his friends dark words.
Punished?! Lion whined.
That doesn’t sound nice at all Lion grumbled at the bakeneko, his tail flicking in agitation.
I guess you stayed because they are family? I can respect that Lion purred at Seven, flicking his ears forward as Drow hugged him a deep purr reverberated through his chest, although his mane seemed to poof up a bit at Drow’s touch the spirit animal remained unharmed by the electrical current that seemed to constantly course through her.
He tilted his head to the side as Seven climbed up Drow, the ridges above his eyes rose in surprise.
Hey...you’re stealing my cuddles Lion grumbled at the bakeneko lifting a large paw and padding at the air his ears flicking out to the side of his head. Little Feather smiled at Lion, Seven and Drow sitting down in a chair she had just begun munching through her salad when Dani said about his heart. “You can’t just be nothing though can you...you have a soul don’t you? It’s what forms the basis of a being” Little Feather offered with a frown, trying not to smile too brightly at hearing Dani tell her she was one of two people that knew what Dani was. It made her warmth flood through her chest did this mean Dani considered her a friend?
It’s not a big deal...he only told you because of what you are She thought logically pushing the idea away quickly. She looked up as Mercy whirled towards them in a flurry of excitement. Lion wagged his tail happily at Mercy a short mewl escaping him as she scratched his head on her way past. She lifted her hand in greeting blinking as Mercy disappeared as quickly as she had come, she was still munching when Dani spoke up. “That’s Mercy” She told Dani with a small smile. “She didn’t look worried so hopefully it’s something fun?” Little Feather attempted to sound encouraging as she picked up her half eaten salad moving over to Dani before past him heading towards the interesting colors just along the beach from them. Lion purred louder as Drow resumed her hugging session but he seemed torn between following Little Feather and staying. Lion grumbled something at Drow though she wouldn’t have understood him, he tugged out of her grip moving around behind her and head butting her lower back very gently trying to encourage her to stand up and move along with the others.
